Marnus Labuschagne gets it 100 percent right

In 28th over of New Zealand's first innings, Pat Cummins had completely deceived Henry Nicholls with a beautiful piece of bowling outside off stump. However, after Tim Paine had collected ball behind stumps, an excited Marnus Labuschagne who was fielding at short-leg started appealing with excitement while his team-mates did t look interested. 

''I 100% heard faintest nick", claimed Labuschagne.

He n asked umpire Aleem Dar wher he had heard a nick as well. commentators and Steve Smith were seen having a hearty laugh over it.  Aussie skipper Tim Paine decided t to go for a review. However, replays showed that Nicholls did get a faint nick and had hosts reviewed it n it would have paid off and even Pat Cummins would t have been deprived of a deserving wicket.
